Westlake Boys High School

After our Jubilee year in 2012, this year has been about getting back to business as usual. Business as usual here is a busy, purposeful, enjoyable, positive and hardworking school. Certainly this is how I see it and how I want it to be. Let"s hope the Education review ofce agree with us next year when they visit us again. January saw our academic results for 2012 being published. We repeated our best Scholarship results from twelve months earlier, once again achieving 80, including 11 outstanding. Let"s make it

100 this year Gentlemen.

Our Cambridge results in 2012 in Form 5 were our best ever and our results were almost as good as ever in forms 6 and 7. All of these pass rates are close to the 100% mark, again, let"s see if we can do even better in 2013. For the rst time ever last year we had our three top students achieving 5 A* grades at A level, an incredible achievement placing these young men at the very top of Cambridge students in New Zealand. Our Deputy Head Boy, Matthew Lie, pipped Prasad Ravi, our Head Boy, for the Dux Award. Our Academic Captain, Pita Roycroft, secured two top in the world A level results in History and Geography. Twelve months ago I was proud to report our best ever NCEA results. Our young men trumped that in 2012. A 94% pass rate at Level One equaled our best yet. A 6% improvement at Level Two took us to an 89% pass rate and a 14% improvement at Level Three took us to 80%. We can do better and we should be very proud of

the improvements here over the last few years. Our combined NCEA and Cambridge pass rates are now 96%, 93%

and 88% respectively. In 2009 they were 78%, 78% and 75%. This is a huge improvement; 18%, 15% and 13 % respectively. Well done to everyone involved in achieving this. It"s been a real team effort with hundreds of staff and students contributing to this achievement. The Executive of the Association of Boys Schools in New Zealand has recently commissioned the NZ Centre of Educational Research to compare how boys are achieving in boys schools compared to co-ed schools. The early ndings are quite startling. At every decil e level, and at every year level, boys in boys schools are doing so much better than their male counterparts in co-ed schools. Boys do better in boys schools. The 256 families that missed out on a place in Year 9 for next year is relevant to this research. On Monday in assembly this week I suggested that our senior students would be better focusing on what is still needed to be done this year, rather what has already been completed. A subtle difference in thinking but a powerful one as well. The main academic challenges of the year are still to come, remember that and prepare accordingly and you will give yourself the best chance of success. Albert Einstein said, ‘One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can just barely achieve through one"s greatest efforts." Worth remembering as you all approach the big ones. Good luck Gentlemen, whatever happens we will be proud of you. What we really want is for you all to be proud of yourselves. eaD MasteR's RePoRt

HeaD Boy's RePoRt

Westlake has excelled across the board in typical fashion in

2013, with our 51st year a myriad of outstanding achievements

and marked progress. We continue to develop as one of the most celebrated boys schools in the country, an ongoing achievement recognised most prominently by the increasing difficulty of finding a place at our school. Academically, our students have experienced an incomparable level of support across the spectrum. The introduction of the Constantius programme at Scholarship level has allowed students access to an unbridled breadth of teaching, and should herald excellent results in the new year.
